    Re: Filter results from an Excel sheet?

    You will find that many if not most users will not be able to open an email attachment.

    You will also find that if you use Excel then your users will be required to have Excel installed on thier system before your program can run.

    All in all it sounds like a bad idea. Better to use an Access MDB or even a plain old CSV and forget about Excel. Also better to post the install on a web site and email a download link to those who would be interested.
    I'm creating some confusion here - I'll only use Excel to creat my initial database. From there, I just need a couple of pointers on where to start learning how to create a vb programme that lets end-users find songs using drop-down lists and show them the results. I'll send the compiled prog and the database over ftp such as wetransfer or similar and have a permanent download link as well.

    Wouldn't users need Access if I used that? "Better to use an Access MDB"

    Regarding macs, could I compile it with a self-extracting emulator ? I know this is another subject but I just wondered.

    Thanks all
